Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Answered yes

  • 1a · Tax indemnification and gross-up payments
  • 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses
  • 2 · Substantiation required before reimbursing expenses
  • 3 · Written employment contract
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
  • 7 · Other non-fixed payments

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
  • 5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues
  • 5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
  • 6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
  • 6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
  • 8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

SCHEDULE J, PART I
THE ORGANIZATION HAS AN INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM WHEREBY AN INDIVIDUAL IS PAID A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR SALARY AS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION WHEN CERTAIN BENCHMARKS SET BY THE ORGANIZATION ARE MET. THE INCENTIVE COMPENSATION IS GROSSED UP FOR TAXES SO THAT THE INDIVIDUAL RECEIVES A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR SALARY AFTER TAXES.
SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 7
BONUS AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION IS BASED ON ACHIEVEMENT OF CERTAIN TARGETS, QUALITY INDICATORS, AND NON-FINANCIAL METRICS.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
